Chantarelle sits in a quiet neighborhood close to North Bay Eye Associates and CVS Pharmacy, so getting to health care is easy, which helps a lot as folks get older. The place only takes six residents at a time, so there's a small group, and that makes it easier for staff to help with things like bathing, dressing, managing medicine, cooking meals, and helping with moves. Staff keeps an eye out twenty-four hours a day and help with daily activities, even for folks who can't walk on their own, and there's a call system if anyone needs immediate help. You'll find Wi-Fi and high-speed internet throughout the community, which makes it simple for family to keep in touch or for folks to read the news online, and for relaxing, there's a clubhouse, library, arts room, game room, movie theater, spa room, and a fitness room, so something's always happening if you want to join.
Meals come from a professional chef with choices for special diets like vegetarian or gluten-free, and you can eat in the community dining area or request allergy-friendly options. Besides meals, staff help with laundry, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and even concierge services if you need them, plus move-in help so settling in isn't hard at all. There are walking paths outside and common areas for programs and activities, which helps everyone stay a little more active or just get out in the sun.
Chantarelle also works with Duggan's Mission Chapel and Mission Cremation Service, so if a family needs funeral arrangements, they handle flowers, memorials, military funeral honors for veterans, burial flag services, inurnment at Arlington National Cemetery, and pre-arrangement for planning ahead. They help write obituaries, provide an online guestbook for condolences, and offer grief support for families as well, and reception services are part of what's offered, too. The community takes adults ages 55 and up, and most everything centers on keeping folks safe, healthy, and respected, with chances for social and active days, all in a setting that tries to feel homey and secure.
